The battle of Chibi affected the world, and Sun Quan, as the monarch of Jiangdong, naturally paid more attention to the outcome of this battle than anyone else. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info// update fast // full text without ads
When news came from the front line that Chibi had won a great victory, Sun Quan and Lu Su got on a clipper and came to the Jiangdong military camp on the Chibi front, and couldn't wait to urge the scouts to find out the military situation at the front.
On the other side of the red cliff, the war there has been settled, but the fire has not been extinguished, from prosperity to decline, the fire is slightly smaller, but it is still a scene of raging flames.
LΓΌ Fanding crossed the river and returned to Chibi after taking 50,000 soldiers and horses to destroy the remnants of Cao's soldiers with the third general of Han Dang, which was a military order issued by Sun Quan, because the scout cavalry he sent had already encountered Liu Bei's troops withdrawn to Jiangxia and learned about the situation ahead.
After the news of the defeat of Cao's army, Sun Quan was excited, but his mind was more drawn by Jingzhou.
Cao Cao was defeated in the south, and at the same time, Guo Jia would attack in the north, and Cao Cao would inevitably break out a fierce battle with Guo Jia in the north, so this was the opportunity for Jiangdong to sweep Jingzhou!
With this consideration, Sun Quan went to the front with Lu Su as soon as he got the good news from Chibi.
Now, it is a critical period, and Liu Bei cannot be allowed to seize the opportunity.
In the barracks, Sun Quan sat quietly with his eyes closed on the handsome position, and Lu Su sat at the bottom without saying a word, and the strange calm in the tent made it difficult to adapt.
Sun Quan hated, and Lu Su sighed.
Neither of them thought that Guo Jia would really use Yizhou as a bet to send troops from the south.
Now, Jiangdong not only lost the initiative to sweep Jingzhou, but also because of the alliance between Guo and Sun, which led to the passivity of Jingzhou's strategy, and even more, now, if Guo Jia wants to fight Jiangdong, it will be even more terrible than Cao Cao!
Jiangdong's soldiers are tired and tired, and the fighting equipment is also exhausted, and he is simply unable to face another big battle in a short time!
Guo Jia did not have many soldiers and horses, but they were all elite, and the Cao army had many shortcomings, but the Taiping army did not have them.
In other words, although Guo Jia's soldiers and horses are not as overwhelming as Cao Cao's, the actual combat power will be more than several times that of Cao's army.
The jackals in the front, the tigers and leopards in the future, the crisis in Jiangdong has risen again and again.
Sun Quan and Lu Su were thinking about their hearts, and there was a report outside.
"Zhuge Liang asks to see."
Liu Bei, who was withdrawing from the north bank back to Jiangxia, met Jiangdong's scouts on the way, and Zhuge Liang learned that Sun Quan had arrived in Chibi, so he immediately crossed the river to ask for a meeting.
Sun Quan opened his calm eyes, looked at Lu Su, and asked: "Zijing, Guo Jia wants to kill Liu Bei, at this moment, Jiangdong should draw a line with Liu Bei to avoid being burned." β
Sun Quan didn't want to see Zhuge Liang, although Lu Su and Zhuge Liang both told him that Guo Jia would definitely send troops from the north, but both of them guessed wrong, or everyone in the world was wrong, Cao Cao guessed wrong, so he ended up with a hero's fall, Sun Liu Alliance guessed wrong, and let Guo Jia sit and reap the benefits.
And now, Sun Quan can't be harsh on Lu Su, the main is worried about the ministers, and Lu Su's contribution to Sun Quan makes Sun Quan unbearable to blame, but Zhuge Liang is an outsider, and Sun Quan doesn't have a good face for him.
The Sun-Liu alliance is to resist Cao, and now that the Cao army has been wiped out, Cao Cao is also dead, and Liu Bei and Guo Jia are at war, so Jiangdong should break off relations with Liu Bei at the right time, which can be regarded as self-preservation.
Lu Su stubbornly arched his hand at Sun Quan and said: "Lord, before resisting Cao, the lower official once said to the lord that the relationship between Sun and Liu is a cold relationship, and now, the same is true. The lord can imagine that if Guo Jia exterminated Liu Bei, and Jingzhou fell into the hands of Guo Jia, how long would Jiangdong be peaceful after this difficulty? β
Sun Quan frowned, and the anger and resentment that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart could not be vented, making him feel that there was a stuffy breath in his chest that was very uncomfortable.
The voice was dry, and Sun Quan asked, "What should I do for today?" If I still form an alliance with Liu Bei, wouldn't I be an enemy of Guo Jia? β
Lu Su couldn't think of any clever plan, Jiangdong was at a loss because of the alliance with Guo Jia, at least they themselves had no name to openly oppose Guo Jia's withdrawal of Jingzhou.
"The lord should meet Kong Ming, the situation has not developed to the point where it is out of control, and there may be room for maneuver."
Sun Quan had no choice but to order someone to summon Zhuge Liang in.
Other people have experienced an earth-shattering war, and they will be more or less contaminated by the flames of war, but Zhuge Liang's whole person seems to be spotless and chic, but his face is relatively heavy when he walks in.
gave a salute to Sun Quan and Lu Su, Zhuge Liang didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Wu Hou, Liang came here this time to use Wu Hou's hand to resist Guo Jia." β
Sun Quan laughed angrily.
Earlier, you said that Guo Jia would not appear on the southern battlefield, but as a result, now Guo Jia is going to sweep Jingzhou.
Guo Jia wants to kill Liu Bei, and it is your lord's hand that has no way to move first.
Sun Quan came to some spirits and asked Zhuge Liang meaningfully: "Kong Ming, I have a covenant with Guo Yuanjun, how can you make me do something treacherous?" Your lord's command will offend Guo Yuanjun first, and Guo Yuanjun will directly repay his grievances, right? I'm listening, and you're going to have a convincing reason to come. β
Jiangdong was unreasonable in the face of Guo Jia, but there was no covenant between Liu Bei and Guo Jia, and Zhuge Liang really said a just-sounding reason.
"Qi Wu Hou, although Guo Jia has a merit in destroying Cao, but he has no son of heaven, as a Han minister, the son of heaven has never issued an edict to entitle him to take Jingzhou, but he intends to dominate Jingzhou, is this the duty of a courtier? It can be seen that Guo Jia already has the same ambition as the Cao thief, named Han Chen, and the usurpation he committed! As a loyal and brave man of the Han Dynasty, how could Wu Hou be faithful to the traitor? If Wu Hou stands by and watches, it is not difficult to predict that Jiangdong will be in danger in the future, then Guo Jia, he is not an easy person, the heart of Jiangdong will not die, and the ambition of dominating the world will not be extinguished, does Wu Hou want to sit back and wait to die? β
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he just stood and stared at Sun Quan.
Sun Quan looked away and did not look at Zhuge Liang.
In the current situation, Sun Quan is in a dilemma.
The key is not Liu Bei's life or death, but Jiangdong's own safety.
If Guo Jia swallowed Jingzhou, Sun Quan would not be able to sleep peacefully.
But if he and Liu Bei are in the same breath to fight against Guo Jia, Jiangdong will be treacherous and untrustworthy to the world.
Sun Quan thought about it, and after weighing it, he still didn't promise Zhuge Liang.
In essence, Jingzhou is not Jiangdong's, not Liu Bei's, and not Guo Jia's.
When the Han Dynasty still had the emperor in power, and before the Han Dynasty officially perished, this country was nominally Liu Xie's, and Liu Xie was the only person who could exercise his free will.
Guo Jia entered Jingzhou to annex without an edict, which indeed seems to be a great rebellion, Zhuge Liang's words are right.
However, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, if they start a war against Guo Jia on this ground, it is assumed that they won.
So after repelling Guo Jia, who does Jingzhou belong to?
There is no one who can stand on the ground.
In the end, he also fell into the same ambitious situation as Cao Cao and Guo Jia.
Moreover, if he wants to defeat Guo Jia with the current soldiers and horses, Sun Quan is not optimistic, and it can be said that he has no chance of winning.
He made up his mind to wait and see what happened.
"The Sun and Liu families have just gone through a big war and urgently need to recuperate, Kong Ming, Guo Yuanjun has made meritorious efforts to suppress thieves, maybe in a few days, the Son of Heaven will reward Jingzhou to him. I can't accept this matter, my governor of Jiangdong has not returned from the expedition, so let's give some time to rest after the war. β
After Sun Quan finished speaking, Zhuge Liang was not depressed and entangled, and bowed and said goodbye.
Zhuge Liang knew very well that Sun Quan would understand the stakes.
As for whether Guo Jia will be enshrined as the pastor of Jingzhou by the Son of Heaven, everyone knows this matter.
Guo Jia doesn't need Liu Xiefeng, as long as he goes to the court, regardless of whether he has a reply or not, he can lead Jingzhou Mu, which can be regarded as a practice left by Yuan Shao.
This practice has been used by Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Guo Jia, at least these two companies must not blame anything.
Seeing that dusk was approaching, the Jiangdong Army on the way to withdraw suddenly stopped its pace.
Zhou Yu deliberately withdrew from Liu Bei and Guo Jia after both sides of the army and horses distanced themselves.
Following Liu Bei was easy for Guo Jia to mistake him for Sun and Liu's allied forces to advance and retreat together to resist him, and following Guo Jia would make Liu Bei mistakenly think that Jiangdong and Guo Jia were chasing and killing him together, so Zhou Yu was the last to withdraw his troops.
But on the flat ground outside Huarong Road, Zhou Yu found that the mighty Taiping Army was stationed in place, and he didn't know what seemed to be happening ahead.
Led the army to bypass from a distance, Zhou Yu came to the front of the Taiping army, his eyes were fixed, and his expression was slightly shocked.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the armor was broken, and the scarred Zhao Yun stabbed Deng Zhi's left arm with a shot, Deng Zhi fell off the horse, gritted his teeth in pain, raised his head to look at the panting and crumbling Zhao Yun, and then turned around and walked back.
The generals around Guo Jia were all slightly injured, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu were no exception.
And Guo Jia always stared at Zhao Yun indifferently.
Fighting alone, Zhao Yun may be able to fight hundreds of rounds, the Taiping Army only has Dian Wei and Xu Chu, plus there is also a Ma Chao who did not come to the war.
Guo Jia sent nine generals to fight with Zhao Yun in turn, and the order of battle was from strong to weak, from the strongest Dian Wei, Xu Chu, to Deng Zhi and Zhang Ren who were still behind.
Guo Jia's strategy is very simple, first use the strongest to slowly consume Zhao Yun, and after continuous fierce battles with Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Zhao Yun's combat power will decrease, and then press down in turn.
If you send generals to fight from weak to strong, I'm afraid that Zhao Yun can easily kill them, and then they won't be able to consume Zhao Yun.
Only by using the generals who are equal to Zhao Yun first can the generals who fight later have the strength to fight.
The Taiping army was stunned on this day.
The handsome and handsome general with a white horse and silver spear not only had a draw with Dian Wei, but even made Xu Chu bow down.
In eight battles in a row, except for Zhang Ren, who had not yet participated in the battle, the other eight generals were slightly injured and their armor was broken.
Zhao Yun was not much better, the armor on his left arm fell off, and the armor on his right shoulder was torn, oozing blood.
Fighting to the extreme, Zhao Yun did not fall off the horse with a breath of support, his vision was in a trance, he shook his head suddenly, and looked towards Guo Jia with his eyes.
"Envoy, there is one more, let the horse come!"
